Hi everyone Been a while since I've had anything to post but have enjoyed seeing all the great projects everyone have been working on. I finally finished #3 of 4 of my Grandkids Intarsia projects. 265 pieces from 19 different woods in an 8" round mahogany frame. Lots of small pieces , extensive detailing and a good contrast of colors bring this piece to life, On to the next one!!

Our favorite port is Graham’s and we were given a special bottle to be saved for our 50th wedding anniversary ( this year is 48). So I made a holder for it. All made with mahogany scraps and I use the Shaper Origin. Paul

I build veteran burial flag cases and I sell them in my Etsy store. Recently, I got a call from a guy in Denver asking me to build a very special case. His father recently passed and his father was a WW II vet. He had served in North Africa with Patton and was quite proud of that fact. So proud that he requested that he be buried in a casket built from African mahogany. The son called to ask if I would build a flag case from African mahogany for the flag that draped his casket. Thanks to Frank Miller Lumber I was able to find quarter-sawn African mahogany and provide the case. Here’s the case.

I am done with the laundry room. Wow what a long haul. Today was spent doing fun woodworking. I revisited the gun room as I have been needing a couple more tool head stands so today was a good day to do it. I included a picture of the existing ones to give a better idea of what they are. They involve turning, Shaper Origin and little woodworking.

This project is cabinets, electrical and some drywall. Her goal is to have me prefab all the cabinets and then start the demo to reduce the down time of the room. I glued up all the panels before I left for the weekend. Today was milling the first of the panels and begin the first one which is an upper. I included a picture of the room as it is. Paul

I made these screwdriver handles from some scrap mahogany. The other wood I’m not sure what it exactly is but it a really hard wood.

So maybe two years ago I promised my wife a side table. Finally got started. Had a big piece of mahogany for the sides and face frame. Using ply for the bottom of drawer box. using rabbit joints for the bottom and sides. Then Rabbited the face frame for tight fit. Used pocket screws to join frame. Before assembly I needed filler strips for the drawer slides so used some 1/2 inch scrape for those. Time for a test fit. So now time for glue and clamps

I am trying to locate some mahogany shaker pegs. Any ideas ? My usual source is no longer in business and I can’t find them anywhere. Paul

It’s that time of year again. Time to start all the shop presents for friends and family. I thought I would try and use up all the small endcuts that have accumulated over the year. Small boxes seems to be a good use of them. I used the Shaper Origin to try an idea I have had for a while to make some small boxes. Paul

Picked up a good size piece of mahogany at our club auction. First time turning mahogany and thought it turned very nice.

The HVAC and repiping are done and I won’t have much to do with the roofing so she gave me the next project. The pantry is in dire need before the shelving collapses and hopefully a fairly quick project. It will involve a lot of maple for the components with 3/8” mahogany edge banding. Lots of pullout shelves and lazy susans. I snagged the maple two days ago but will still need two sheets of 1/2” ply for the bottoms of the pullout shelving and three sheets of 1/4” ply for the backing. The hardware is a lot of drawer slides and lazy Susan bearings. I included pictures of the existing pantry. Paul

Long time friends and family lost the father and bread winner to a cardiac event about 2 years ago. We've been helping the Mom and Daughter as we can since then. Ms. A. now 14 has taken this particularly hard and has been having issues of all sorts since then. We meet twice a week for dinner and Ms A. asked for a lidded bowl to put things in. Still getting used to the laser engraver but making progress. .40

My daughter asked me to make her a small box...Presto changeo, ala kazam.... Had a lot of fun with this one. Not bad for a first box. I wish it had turned out a little more centered, so that the variations in wood types were more even. .40

Finally got Mrs. Boss's lidded bowl completed. Took lots of time, interruptions along the way, but worthwhile project all said and done. Cocobolo, purpleheart and mahogany. Patterned after the Queen in a chess set for the Queen. ...I know way too mushy. You may notice some discoloration around the finial on the lid. It will turn purple in a day or two after the fresh cuts heal. Powersand to 320 and finished with Acks. .40

The TV in the family room blew out some time ago and it was impossible to find an exact match on the outside dimensions so I am forced to make a new frame. A fairly quick job this morning giving me a break on the media room project. The wood is Honduran mahogany. Paul

Why you don't try to match or select color by just using a stain's "name"
kmealy posted a topic in Finishing
Here are 7 different stains by 3 different manufacturers (Minwax, Valspar, General Finishes) on the same wood. Can you imagine if I'd just selected one by name and missed the target? top: Provincial middle row: Mahogany, "New Caramel", Dark Cherry bottom row: Mahogany Gel, Mahogany, Medium Cherry

I wasn’t sure to put this here or in the CNC category. The wife got some new steak knives and requested a tray for them. I designed it with Fusion 360 and then used the Shaper Origin to router it. Wicked knives. I think they are the sharpest knives I have ever seen on delivery. They are scalpel sharp. Quick little project but fun. Paul

I made this in my tiny little shop (man, I’d really LOVE to have a window). Two are #4 hard maple shaker boxes with African mahogany tops. Also made two #3 shaker boxes from walnut with butternut tops. Hit them with some natural danish oil and after they dry for about 3 days or so, I’ll shoot them with about 4 coats of a satin poly. The hardest part for me is milling the stock to 1/16th of an inch....I seen to be able to get a better result on my table saw instead of the bandsaw....anyhow, I hope all youse guys are staying safe and healthy! I can’t wait until this comes to an end.

so my sister, who has a beautiful house in TX, has a set of salt and pepper grinders in her kitchen. but, when they are used and set down, they leak. spilling stray bits of salt and pepper on the counters. very sad. she texts me a picture of her grinders, currently setting in small ceramic tart dishes. "oh big brother, could you make something like this out of some nice wood" sure. send her a pic of a trial one in scrap poplar, with a square shape. hmmm....could you make it round inside and out. i think so, let me ponder it a bit. slept well, came up with a solution that does not require buying a 2-1/2" Forstner bit (that would be another $23, that's ammo money!). made a pair pretty easily this AM:

Started on this back in the summer and had it shelved til some other things got done. Son bought a new house in NC and Dil wanted shelves to match stair rail. So we went and found this mahogany 14 foot by20 inch by 2. Had to cut it to get into his suburban. Then I get the"privilege" to bring it home to work on. Took them til last month to decide on shelf brackets . Yes I am making those too. Ordered the stain that was used for existing Cabot mahonany flame in the old oil formula ( read the new is WB and not good). It is labeled outdoor use only, must be a CYOA. So got the stain on today and waiting for decision on clear. The second pic is prototype bracket.
